FRIENDS Bring out the best in all! There were many different examples of friendship exhibited throughout Leesburg High. It was present around campus, at the football games, and also around town at such places as Main Street Connection and McDonalds. Inseparable buddies such as Russell Hayes and Jeff Keene, Dana Wheeler and Beth Sellars, and Rene Sanford and Trish Bissctt all shared a special bond of friendship. Of course there were also close-knit pals of the romantic sort. These included Paula Bull- ock and Durham Young, Steve Madden and Alcsa Atchley, and Kristin Cummins and Jody Phillips. An authentic friendship had a great deal to live up to though. No matter what kind of friendship people shared, each was special and important. A friend meant so many things ... A shoulder to cry on, an car to bend, money to borrow, clothes to lend. Friday night movies, afternoon walks, just being together, many private talks, mending our hearts, crying those tears. Planning our futures, sharing our fears. Our memories together may they never end, always together — FOREVER FRIENDS! Picture 1— Cassie Marston and the Jacket mascot are sideline cheering pals.

Variation in Transportation From cars to motorcycles and buses to bi- cycles, the transportation at Leesburg High School varied widely from student to student. Most popular among the upperclassmen was driving one ' s own car. Those commonly found in the parking lot were Mary Alice Tucker ' s and Durham Young ' s twin white Monzas, Jensie Hardy ' s gray Camaro, and Kathleen Young ' s Ford Comet, alias the Vomit. Some of the more spirited cars and trucks were Mark Young ' s orange Z-car and Mike Woods ' s big, black. Ford truck. While seniors worried about paying for gas in their cars, the freshmen worried about catching their buses. One often noticed poor lost souls wandering the halls in search of a ride home, or scanning the parking lots for their parents ' cars — for the enterprising teens who could convince their parents, there was a personally chauffeured ride to and from school. Joe Wise, Clayton Moore, Robby Steven- son, and Randy Cook were seen daily cruis- ing into and out of the Early-Release parking lot on motorcycles. Next there were the bicy- clists. This group consisted of those who lived near the school but chose not to walk. Miriam Gelfand and Satish Patel were just two of those who helped fill the bike racks every morning Although at times the Leesburg High transportation system seemed chaotic, it usu- ally worked out for the best. With only occa- sional tardiness, the students and faculty managed to reach their destinations in one piece. Picture 1 — The pretty yellow buses pick up students every afternoon at 2:30.
